Hi,

I'm not on here very often, anyway I have an annoying problem with my upgrade phone I had in April, which is the above.

This morning it was working fine I had cortana telling me about my messages etc, all the norm, then I wanted to change my screen photo with one of my own photo's uploaded from facebook, & that was fine, but now for some reason after going through settings I have a bright yellow line around the screen of my phone, I can't access any of the apps without a female voice(not cortana)telling me I've got to double tap everything, I can't swipe to the right to get on apps or settings, without this bloody voice telling me what to do, I know what to do but I can't access anything, even the settings, the voice is so annoying I've now switched my phone off, I think I am going to have to take it into the 02 shop where I live & see what they can do. 

Does anyone in the 02 community know what the problem is please?

Ah it sounds like in accessibility you have text to speech switched on

It sounds as if you need to call Microsoft support @jb219-37

Sounds like something got changed in accessibility settings.
